I looked in to it and I'm afraid I found no evidence to support the article. Probably the author of teh article succumbed to the paraetymology of "kalo" (good) and "deis" (to see), but I have not found a word or name "kalodis" with this meaning either in ancient or contemporary sources. There is a word "kalodis" meaning "full of calluses" but I digress :P
So I guess I will have to stick with the interpretation that Kaludis is a diminutive of "ta kala" (the goods) and means "litte gifts/sweets/goodies :)
